Historic Sites of Manitoba: Barnwald School No. 1645 (RM of Siglunes)

The Barnwald School District was established in November 1912 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at NE6-25-6W in the Rural Municipality of Siglunes. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its area became part of the Lakeshore School Division. No vestige of the former school was found during a 2016 site visit.
